Section 1. Recitals.
1.01. The City Council of the city of Maplewood (the "City") established the
Maplewood Economic Development Authority ("MEDA") to promote
development and redevelopment within the community.
1.02. On July 22, 2019 the City adopted a modified Enabling Resolution for MEDA,
giving it the authority of an economic development authority under Minnesota
Statutes, sections 469.090 through 469.1081 (the "EDA Act"), of a housing and
redevelopment authority under Minnesota Statutes, sections 469.001 through
469.047 (the "HRA Act"); and of a city under Minnesota Statutes, sections
469.124 through 469.134 (the "City Development Districts Act").
1.03. In response to a proposal to redevelop a site on Londin Lane previously used as
a fire station for an affordable multifamily housing project, MEDA determined to
establish a tax increment financing district to assist the project.
1.04. MEDA and the City investigated the facts and caused to be prepared a
modification to the Development District Program (the "Development Program")
for Development District No. 1 (the "Project") and a tax increment financing plan
(the "TIF Plan") for Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-15 (the "TIF District"),
describing the assistance which may be provided to encourage redevelopment
within the Project.
1.05. All actions required by law to be performed prior to the adoption of the modified
Development Program and the TIF Plan and establishment of the TIF District
have been performed, including approval of the TIF Plan by MEDA at its
meeting on October 25, 2021.
1.06. MEDA and the City notified Ramsey County and Independent School District
No. 622 of the public hearing on the modified Development Program and TIF
Plan to be held before the City Council on October 25, 2021.
1.07. The modified Development Program and TIF Plan are contained in a document
entitled "Modification to the Development Program, Development District No. 1
and Tax Increment Financing (TIF) Plan, Establishment of Tax Increment
Financing District No. 1-15 (a housing district)" dated October 25, 2021 and on
file at city hall.
1.08. The City Council has fully reviewed the contents of the modified Development
Program and TIF Plan and has on October 25, 2021 conducted a public hearing
thereon at which the views of all interested persons were received orally or in
writing.
Section 2. Findings Relating to the Adoption of the Modified Development Program.
2.01. The City finds that the modified Development Program, which consists of
inclusion of an additional tax increment financing district, continues to be
consistent with the City's comprehensive plan.
2.02. The City finds that the adoption of the modified Development Program would
October 25, 2021
City Council Meeting Minutes
36
promote redevelopment of a property within the Development District and is in
the vital interests of the community as a whole.
Section 3. Findings Relating to the Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District
No. 1-15.
3.01. The City finds and determines that it is necessary and desirable for the sound
and orderly development of the Development District and the community as a
whole, and for the protection and preservation of the public health, safety, and
general welfare, that the authority of the TIF Act be exercised by MEDA and the
City to establish Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-15.
3.02. The City further finds and determines, and it is the reasoned opinion of the City,
that the redevelopment proposed in the TIF Plan for the TIF District could not
reasonably be expected to occur solely through private investment within the
reasonably foreseeable future and that the increased market value of the land
within the TIF District that could reasonably be expected to occur without the
use of tax increment financing would be less than the increase in the market
value estimated to result from the proposed redevelopment, after subtracting the
present value of the projected tax increments for the maximum duration of the
TIF District, and that therefore the use of tax increment financing is necessary to
assist the project. The City adopts and hereby incorporates the findings and but
for qualifications included as Appendix C to the TIF Plan.
3.03. The expenditures proposed to be financed through tax increment financing are
necessary to permit MEDA and the City to realize the full potential of the
Development District in terms of development intensity, diversity of uses and tax
base and to facilitate the redevelopment of land with an affordable housing
project which is consistent with the comprehensive plan.
3.04. The TIF Plan for the TIF District will afford maximum opportunity, consistent with
the sound needs of the City as a whole, for redevelopment of the Development
District by private enterprise.
3.05. The TIF Plan for the TIF District conforms to the general plan for the
development and redevelopment of Maplewood as a whole. The developer's
plans for a multifamily residential building is fully consistent with the city's
comprehensive plan.
3.06. The City has relied upon the written representation made by the developer,
review of the developer's proforma, the opinions and recommendations of City
staff and consultants, and the personal knowledge of the members of the City
Council in reaching its conclusions regarding the TIF Plan and the establishment
of the TIF District.
3.07. TIF District No. 1-15 is a housing tax increment financing district within the
meaning of Minnesota Statutes, section 469.174, subd. 11.
Section 4. Approval of Modified Development Program and Tax Increment Financing Plan;
Establishment of Tax Increment Financing District No. 1-15,

City Council Meeting Minutes

4.02. The TIF Plan for TIF District No. 1-15 is hereby approved, as adopted by MEDA.

4.03. The Executive Director of MEDA is authorized and directed to transmit a
certified copy of this resolution together with a certified copy of the modified
Development Program and the TIF Plan to Ramsey County with a request that
the original tax capacity of the property within TIF District No. 1-15 be certified to
MEDA pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, section 469.177, subd. 1 and to file a
copy of the modified Development Program and the TIF Plan for TIF District

2.03. Registration. The City will appoint a bond registrar, transfer agent, authenticating agent and paying
agent (the "Registrar"). The effect of registration and the rights and duties of the City and the Registrar with respect
thereto are as follows:
(a) Re ig ster. The Registrar must keep at its principal corporate trust office a bond register in
which the Registrar provides for the registration of ownership of Bonds and the registration of transfers and
exchanges of Bonds entitled to be registered, transferred, or exchanged.
(b) Transfer of Bonds. Upon surrender for transfer of a Bond duly endorsed by the registered
owner thereof or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Registrar, duly
executed by the registered owner thereof or by an attorney duly authorized by the registered owner in writing,
the Registrar will authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and maturity, as requested by the transferor. The Registrar
may, however, close the books for registration of any transfer after the fifteenth day of the month preceding
each interest payment date and until that interest payment date.
(c) Exchange of Bonds. When Bonds are surrendered by the registered owner for exchange the
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver one or more new Bonds of a like aggregate principal amount and
maturity as requested by the registered owner or the owner's attorney in writing.
(d) Cancellation. Bonds surrendered upon transfer or exchange shall be promptly cancelled by
the Registrar and thereafter disposed of as directed by the City.
(e) Improper or Unauthorized Transfer. When a Bond is presented to the Registrar for transfer,
the Registrar may refuse to transfer the Bond until the Registrar is satisfied that the endorsement on the Bond
or separate instrument of transfer is valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is legally authorized.
The Registrar will incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers which it, in its judgment,
deems improper or unauthorized.
(f) Persons Deemed Owners. The City and the Registrar may treat the person in whose name a
Bond is registered in the bond register as the absolute owner of the Bond, whether the Bond is overdue or not,
for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal of and interest on the Bond and for all
other purposes, and payments so made to the registered owner or upon the registered owner's order will be
valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon the Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid.
(g) Taxes, Fees and Charges. The Registrar may impose a charge upon the owner thereof for a
transfer or exchange of Bonds sufficient to reimburse the Registrar for any tax, fee or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to the transfer or exchange.
(h) Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If a Bond becomes mutilated or is destroyed,
stolen or lost, the Registrar shall deliver a new Bond of like amount, number, maturity date and tenor in
exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of the mutilated Bond or in lieu of and in substitution for
a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon the payment of the reasonable expenses and charges of the Registrar in
connection therewith; and, in the case of a Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Registrar of
evidence satisfactory to it that the Bond was destroyed, stolen or lost, and of the ownership thereof, and upon
furnishing to the Registrar an appropriate bond or indemnity in form, substance and amount satisfactory to it
and as provided by law, in which both the City and the Registrar must be named as obligees. Bonds so
surrendered to the Registrar shall be cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation must be
October 25, 2021
City Council Meeting Minutes
44
given to the City. If the mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has already matured or been called for
redemption in accordance with its terms it is not necessary to issue a new Bond prior to payment.
(i) Redemption. In the event any of the Bonds are called for redemption, notice thereof
identifying the Bonds to be redeemed shall be given by the Registrar by mailing a copy of the redemption
notice by first class mail (postage prepaid) to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed at the
address shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar and by publishing the notice if required by
law. Failure to give notice by publication or by mail to any registered owner, or any defect therein, shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. Bonds so called for redemption
shall cease to bear interest after the specified redemption date, provided that the funds for the redemption
are on deposit at the place of payment at that time.
2.04. Appointment of Initial Re ig strar. The City appoints Bond Trust Services Corporation, Roseville,
Minnesota, as the initial Registrar. The Mayor and the City Manager are authorized to execute and deliver, on behalf
of the City, a contract with the Registrar. Upon merger or consolidation of the Registrar with another corporation, if
the resulting corporation is a bank or trust company authorized by law to conduct such business, the resulting
corporation is authorized to act as successor Registrar. The City agrees to pay the reasonable and customary charges
of the Registrar for the services performed. The City reserves the right to remove the Registrar upon 30 days' notice
and upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, in which event the predecessor Registrar must deliver all cash and
Bonds in its possession to the successor Registrar and must deliver the bond register to the successor Registrar. On or
before each principal or interest due date, without further order of this City Council, the City Manager must transmit
to the Registrar moneys sufficient for the payment of all principal and interest then due.
2.05. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Bonds shall be prepared under the direction of the City
Manager and executed on behalf of the City by the signatures of the Mayor and the City Manager, provided that those
signatures may be printed, engraved, or lithographed facsimiles of the originals. If an officer whose signature or a
facsimile of whose signature appears on the Bonds ceases to be such officer before the delivery of a Bond, that signature
or facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if the officer had remained in office
until delivery. Notwithstanding such execution, a Bond shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to
any security or benefit under this resolution unless and until a certificate of authentication on the Bond has been duly
executed by the manual signature of an authorized representative of the Registrar. Certificates of authentication on
different Bonds need not be signed by the same representative. The executed certificate of authentication on a Bond
is conclusive evidence that it has been authenticated and delivered under this resolution. When the Bonds have been
so prepared, executed and authenticated, the City Manager shall deliver the same to the Purchaser upon payment of
the purchase price in accordance with the contract of sale heretofore made and executed, and the Purchaser is not
obligated to see to the application of the purchase price.
Section 3. Form of Bond.
3.01. Execution of the Bonds. The Bonds shall be printed or typewritten in substantially the form attached
hereto as EXHIBIT B.
3.02. Approving Legal Opinion. The City Manager is authorized and directed to obtain a copy of the

to be printed on or accompany each Bond.

name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, the City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent will have no responsibility or
obligation to any broker dealers, banks and other financial institutions from time to time for which DTC holds Bonds
as securities depository (the "Participants") or to any other person on behalf of which a Participant holds an interest in
the Bonds, including but not limited to any responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records
of DTC, Cede & Co. or any Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any

Participant or any other person, other than a registered owner of Bonds, of any amount with respect to principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds. The City, the Registrar and the Paying Agent may treat and consider the
person in whose name each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the holder and absolute
owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium and interest with respect to such Bond, for the
purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bonds, and for all other purposes. The Paying Agent will pay all
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds only to or on the order of the respective registered owners, as
shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, and all such payments will be valid and effectual to fully satisfy
and discharge the City's obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a registered owner of Bonds, as shown in the registration
books kept by the Registrar, will receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of this resolution. Upon delivery
by DTC to the City Manager of a written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in
place of Cede & Co., the words "Cede & Co." will refer to such new nominee of DTC; and upon receipt of such a
notice, the City Manager will promptly deliver a copy of the same to the Registrar and Paying Agent.
8.03. Representation Letter. The City has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC a Blanket Issuer Letter
of Representations (the "Representation Letter") which shall govern payment of principal of, premium, if any, and
interest on the Bonds and notices with respect to the Bonds. Any Paying Agent or Registrar subsequently appointed
by the City with respect to the Bonds will agree to take all action necessary for all representations of the City in the
Representation Letter with respect to the Registrar and Paying Agent, respectively, to be complied with at all times.
8.04. Transfers Outside Book-EntrS_ sste. In the event the City, by resolution of the City Council,
determines that it is in the best interests of the persons having beneficial interests in the Bonds that they be able to
obtain Bond certificates, the City will notify DTC, whereupon DTC will notify the Participants, of the availability
through DTC of Bond certificates. In such event the City will issue, transfer and exchange Bond certificates as
requested by DTC and any other registered owners in accordance with the provisions of this resolution. DTC may
determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving notice to the City and
discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. In such event, if no successor securities
depository is appointed, the City will issue and the Registrar will authenticate Bond certificates in accordance with this
resolution and the provisions hereof will apply to the transfer, exchange, and method of payment thereof.
8.05. Payments to Cede & Co. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution to the contrary, so
long as a Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, payments with respect to principal of,
premium, if any, and interest on the Bond and notices with respect to the Bond will be made and given, respectively
in the manner provided in DTC's Operational Arrangements, as set forth in the Representation Letter.
Section 9. Continuing Disclosure.
9.01. Execution of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. "Continuing Disclosure Certificate" means that
certain Continuing Disclosure Certificate executed by the Mayor and City Manager and dated the date of issuance
and delivery of the Bonds, as originally executed and as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with
the terms thereof.
9.02. City Compliance with Provisions of Continuing Disclosure Certificate. The City hereby
covenants and agrees that it will comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Continuing Disclosure
Certificate. Notwithstanding any other provision of this resolution, failure of the City to comply with the
Continuing Disclosure Certificate is not to be considered an event of default with respect to the Bonds; however,
any Bondholder may take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific
performance by court order, to cause the City to comply with its obligations under this section.
Section 10. Defeasance. When all Bonds and all interest thereon have been discharged as provided in
this section, all pledges, covenants, and other rights granted by this resolution to the holders of the Bonds will cease,
October 25, 2021

except that the pledge of the full faith and credit of the City for the prompt and full payment of the principal of and
interest on the Bonds will remain in full force and effect. The City may discharge all Bonds which are due on any date
by depositing with the Registrar on or before that date a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in full. If any Bond
should not be paid when due, it may nevertheless be discharged by depositing with the Registrar a sum sufficient for
the payment thereof in full with interest accrued to the date of such deposit.

This Bond is one of an issue in the aggregate principal amount of $8,090,000 all of like original issue date and
tenor, except as to number, maturity date, and interest rate, all issued pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City
Council on October 25, 2021 (the "Resolution"), for the purpose of providing money to redeem and prepay on February

the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota, including Minnesota Statutes, Section 412.301 and Minnesota
Statutes, Chapters 429, 444, and 475, including specifically Section 475.67, subdivision 3, all as amended. The
principal hereof and interest hereon are payable in part from special assessments, in part from tax increment revenues,
and in part from ad valorem taxes, as set forth in the Resolution to which reference is made for a full statement of
rights and powers thereby conferred. The full faith and credit of the City are irrevocably pledged for payment of this
Bond and the City Council has obligated itself to levy additional ad valorem taxes on all taxable property in the City
in the event of any deficiency in ad valorem taxes, special assessments, and tax increment revenues of the City pledged,
which additional taxes may be levied without limitation as to rate or amount. The Bonds of this series are issued only
as fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple thereof of single maturities.
The City Council has designated the issue of Bonds of which this Bond forms a part as "qualified tax-exempt
obligations" within the meaning of Section 265(b)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")
relating to disallowance of interest expense for financial institutions and within the $10 million limit allowed by the
Code for the calendar year of issue.
As provided in the Resolution and subject to certain limitations set forth therein, this Bond is transferable upon
the books of the City at the principal office of the Registrar, by the registered owner hereof in person or by the owner's
attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender hereof together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory
to the Registrar, duly executed by the registered owner or the owner's attorney; and may also be surrendered in
exchange for Bonds of other authorized denominations. Upon such transfer or exchange the City will cause a new
Bond or Bonds to be issued in the name of the transferee or registered owner, of the same aggregate principal amount,
bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date, subject to reimbursement for any tax, fee or
governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.
The City and the Registrar may deem and treat the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute
owner hereof, whether this Bond is overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment and for all other purposes,
and neither the City nor the Registrar will be affected by any notice to the contrary.
IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED, COVENANTED AND AGREED that all acts, conditions and
things required by the Constitution and laws of the State of Minnesota to be done, to exist, to happen and to be
performed preliminary to and in the issuance of this Bond in order to make it a valid and binding general obligation of
the City in accordance with its terms, have been done, do exist, have happened and have been performed as so required,

3. Wetland Buffer Variance Resolution, Single -Family House, 1091 County Road C
Environmental Planner Finwall gave the staff report. Justin Haynes and Katie Schurrer,
owners and applicants, addressed council and provided further information.
Councilmember Juenemann moved to approve a resolution for a 45 -foot wetland buffer
variance for a new sinale-familv house at 1091 Countv Road C.
Resolution 21-10-2005
VARIANCE RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Katie Schurrer and Justin Haynes applied for a variance from the
wetland ordinance.
WHEREAS, this variance applies to the property located at 1091 County Road C,
Maplewood, MN. The property identification number is 04-29-22-43-0006. The legal
description is the West 76 feet of the East 356 feet of the West half of the SW 1/4 of the
SE 1/4 of Section 4, Township 29, Range 22, Ramsey County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the applicants are proposing to construct a single-family house and
grading for the house to within 30 feet of a Manage A wetland adjacent a lake, requiring a
45 -foot wetland buffer variance.
WHEREAS, the history of this variance is as follows:
On September 20, 2021, the Environmental and Natural Resources
Commission reviewed the variance and recommended approval of the
wetland buffer variance to the Planning Commission and City Council.
2. On October 19, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing to
review this proposal. City staff published a notice in the paper and sent
notices to the surrounding property owners as required by law. The
Planning Commission gave everyone at the hearing a chance to speak
and present written statements. The Planning Commission also
considered the report and recommendation of the city staff and
Environmental and Natural Resources Commission. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of the wetland buffer variance to the
City Council.
3. The City Council held a public meeting on October 25, 2021, to review this
proposal. The City Council considered the report and recommendations of
the city staff, the Environmental and Natural Resources Commission, and
the Planning Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council approve the above-
described variance based on the following reasons:
October 25, 2021
City Council Meeting Minutes
45
The property is zoned and guided as single-family residential. The
property will be used in a reasonable manner as a single-family house.
2. The lot is a pre-existing platted lot located adjacent a wetland. The original
house was built 83 years ago, prior to the City's wetland buffer ordinance.
That house was a pre-existing nonconforming structure because it
encroached into the wetland buffer. Strict enforcement of the ordinance
would prohibit the building of most types of new permanent structures on
the lot, substantially diminishing the potential of this lot. These are
circumstances unique to this property.
3. The lot is surrounded by other single-family houses that are located
adjacent the wetland with access to Kohlman Lake. Approval of the
wetland buffer variance will include the restoration of 1,000 square feet of
wetland buffer to native plants, which will improve the water quality and
wildlife habitat of the wetland. The placement of the single-family house
and wetland buffer variance will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
Approval of the wetland buffer variance shall be subject to the following:
Prior to issuance of a grading permit for the new single-family house the
applicants must submit:
a. Tree Plan: A tree plan which shows the location, size, and species
of all significant trees located on the lot, and the trees that will be
removed with the construction of the new single family house.
Removal of significant trees with the construction of the single-
family house must comply with the City's tree preservation
ordinance and tree replacement requirements.
b. Wetland Buffer Restoration: A wetland buffer restoration plan to be
approved by City staff. The restoration plan will reflect native
plantings within a 1,000 square foot area adjacent the wetland.
Wetland Buffer Signs: A wetland buffer sign plan showing the
installation of at least two wetland buffer signs on the south side of
restored wetland buffer native plant area. The signs identify the
wetland buffer and state that no mowing, cutting, building, or
grading is allowed in the wetland buffer. The City supplies the signs
at a cost of $35 per sign. The applicant must install the signs once
the native plantings are complete.
Driveway: Applicants must obtain a driveway permit from Ramsey
County. The driveway must meet the County and City driveway
code requirements. City code allows hard surface (driveways) in
the front yard to cover no more than 40 percent of the front yard.
The driveway width at the entrance is limited to 32 feet and the
maximum total driveway width of the two entrances cannot exceed
32 feet.
e. Dock: Any future deck must meet the Department of Natural
Resources Docks and Access in Public Water requirements and
the City of Maplewood wetland ordinance public water access
October 25, 2021
City Council Meeting Minutes
46
requirements.
Escrows: A tree and wetland buffer escrow. The tree escrow is
$60 per caliper inch of tree required to be replaced. The wetland
buffer escrow is 150 percent of the cost of the wetland buffer
restoration.
2. Prior to release of the escrow, any replacement trees required must be
planted with a one-year warranty and the wetland buffer plantings must be
established.
